>>Red vs. Blue ( http://www.redvsblue.com/ ) is a comedy series acted out
using Halo on XBox. The producers of the series explored the idea of
cropping out the black bars in the video and decided against it because
of the increased processing requirements and the fact that the
difference in bitrate was negligible.
However, it would be nice to "clean up" those bars.
